[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Death’s Peace

A child crying all alone
A world of hate and pain
The people who are there for some
Are gone the very next day
The blood of countless on my hands
The innocent all but lost
The tears that run down my face
Are mixed into their blood
A childhood so grim and dark
Others shall not know
A life of pain and torment
A child should have never undergone
The tears and pain of the past
Frighten me in my sleep
I wake up every morning
Crying and about to weep

The shame I have of being me
All bottled up in my head
All other feelings roam around
Pain and hope and dread
Happiness was taken away
A long, long time ago
Leaving behind the aching numbness
That seeps into my soul

My life is slowly fading
Memories pass before my eyes
The numbness in my soul
Becomes and icy grip
As Death reaches to claim my life
And now I slowly die
My breaths are getting shorter
My eyesight getting weak
My body becomes a piece of lead
As Death completes her task
I tumble down into the dark
And stop somewhere down the track

I look around and see
Two tunnels facing each way
One receded in the dark
The other bright as day
I wondered which I should walk down
If I could walk at all
I slowly stand and walk away
To sit and think aloud
I wonder if I should go
Onto the dark and lonely path
It seemed as if that was the way
My life had always been
So I decided to try and be
Something I never was

I stood up and slowly crept
To the brightly lit path
And stepped into a wide and pleasant field
The brightness love and warmth I felt
Had me instantly in tears
I now felt the things I missed
As I wandered through my life
The things I never felt before
All warm fluffy and nice
I new my life was now over
Now I would begin anew

I closed my eyes and breathed in deep
The smells upon the air
I smiled and knew I now was safe
From loneliness and despair
I wiped away the tears I cried
And opened up my eyes
I gazed upon the angelic scene
Of flowers swaying in the breeze
I decided that as long as I could
I would enjoy the peace
The peace I had earned my entire life
The peace Death seemed to bring
